The WM Company has apointed Michael Walsh as its new Managing Director. Walsh replaces Peter Adams, who has assumed a role at State Street Corporation as head of its pension fund servicing team.
A qualified accountant, Walsh joins The WM Company from HSBC, where he has worked for nearly 15 years, most recently as head of Investment Services and managing director of HSBC Investment Funds (UK).
“This appointment is testament to State Street’s commitment to The WM Company and the pensions industry as a whole,” says Jeff Conway, Managing Director of State Street’s Investor Services business, Northern Europe, Middle East and Africa. “We look forward to a time of innovation, change and continued determination in both of these arenas. Mike brings an impressive amount of industry experience with him and we are very excited about the future for The WM Company, under his expert guidance and leadership.”
